This is the heartbreaking reality of flying when you're 'really fat'

Fact: Flying is stressful. We have our belongings handled by people we don't know, are groped by TSA agents, and spend a small fortune on mediocre airport food, all to strap ourselves into a giant flying hunk of metal that has even worse food you have to pay for.
